For nearly fifty years, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. Aspiring to make a significant contribution to the world of humane learning, the journal offers fresh and stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, the theory of criticism, philosophical interpretations of literature, and the literary treatment of philosophy. Reaching beyond the boundaries suggested by its title, the journal also on occasion presents discussions of music, film, and the other arts that further cultural and inter-cultural understanding. Philosophy and Literature features a lively assortment of full-length articles, shorter essays, review essays, Symposia (bringing together a set of articles on a particular topic or literary author), In Focus columns (presenting a small set of articles on a precisely-defined issue), and on occasion creative writing of a philosophical kind. Conceptual clarity, humane depth, and elegance of presentation remain central to the journal’s ideals.
